From a visual standpoint, Bladestorm is certainly better looking than the Playstation ports Koei previously spewed out on to the 360. Bladestorm is a very good game and it manages to breathe new life into a series that was getting extremely stale. It was a gamble to make some of the changes and it certainly paid off. The wealth of content more than makes up for the average graphics, and those looking for an action/strategy hybrid should absolutely get lost in the Hundred Year's War. It might actually take that long to finish it.

AWESOMEoutof10's Fraser Brown proposes that anachronisms in video games can be a good thing. From the anything in history goes attitude of the Civilization series, to the use of swords in modern settings. It's all part of games offering players freedom and the keys to the toy box.
But at the end of the day, the game simply wasn't received well enough for Tecmo Koei to feel the need for a sequel. It's a pity, because this kind of game is a niche that isn't really being filled right now.
I loved this game, but I only play it every so often, the combat can get rather boring very fast.
good, but not great. And by great, I don't meant to say that this was so under appreciated that it was great (only some deserve it).
an amazing game, just wish i had completed it, got to last battle and it broke. typical
